frequent earthquakes, hurricanes and heavy rains oversaturate Guatemala's mountainous terrain and muddy the soil.

What are some human factors causing mudslides in Guatemala?
They cut down the trees for fields for farming. Now that the trees are not there to hold the earth together the land is sliding.

They're going to replant trees. With pine trees the roots spread around 6-7 meters
